"Can an EV make it from Phoenix to Sedona?"
Easy yes. I-17 corridor has dense Tesla Supercharger + Electrify America coverage. Sedona itself has charging at most resort hotels.
Minimum recommended real-world range: 250 miles
One of the cleanest EV weekend trips in America. Phoenix is a major Tesla Supercharger hub, the I-17 climb to Flagstaff is well-charged, and Sedona's resort hotels have invested heavily in L2 chargers. Elevation gain from Phoenix (1,100 ft) to Sedona (4,300 ft) costs about 15% of range on the climb, which you mostly get back on the descent.
| Stop | Mile | Role | Charging |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix (start) | 0 | anchor | Dense Tesla SC, EA, EVgo across metro |
| Camp Verde Midpoint fast charging | 80 | stop | Tesla SC + EA |
| Sedona | 120 | destination | Tesla SC at Hilton Sedona + L2 at most major resorts |
| Camp Verde (return) | 160 | stop | Same |
| Phoenix (return) | 240 | anchor | Same |
Recommended overnight stops with L2 charging. Always verify the specific property's charger on PlugShare before booking — hotel chargers fail and listings don't always reflect reality.
Most major resorts (Enchantment, L'Auberge, Sedona Rouge, Hilton Sedona) have L2 charging for guests. Verify before booking — chargers fail.
Expedia's amenity filter is imperfect — also verify chargers on PlugShare before you book. Hotels lie about working chargers more than they should.

419 mi range makes the trip a non-event; comfortable for the long highway stretches
If you're extending to Soldier Pass dirt road or Grand Canyon, the capability matters
BEST: March-May and September-November. Phoenix summers (June-August) hit 115°F+ and slow charging significantly. Sedona itself is 20°F cooler than Phoenix, so summer trips are still pleasant in town.
